Good luck to those who DO take part though. Having a gang on here posting encouragement and updates is hugely motivating, as is the advice from some of the superhuman runners we have.
1000 miles would be a good target.
My feedback thread is here.
So, I went for the first 5k on Saturday. I surprised myself with how easy I found it though my hip joints are hurting. My plan is to do another 5k this week. Ultimately there's a Trail Half Marathon in October that I hope to try just for the fun of it.
Anyhow, took some time out end of the year to allow recovery. It took a few months prior to diagnose and rest didn't fix anything. All told I did 1519 miles/2445km. Considering the outages that wasn't too bad. Did 3 100 miler races, a 75 mile race, a 36 mile race, a 30 mile race, 1 marathon, some 10 milers and many training runs over marathon distance. So Ok with that but not as planned.
2018 I'm back training properly again and just finished my 2nd block which contained a 20 mile pace run at 3:45 marathon pace(2:54 fo the 20 miler) and a 30 mile trail run (mud bath lol) yesterday with 3000 feet of elevation. Now on an easy week before starting next block. Next week starts to build mileage around the 60-70 mile mark.
For races I have half in March, Brighton marathon in April, Thames path 100 (miles) in May, South Downs Way 100 in June, North Downs Way 100 in August, Chiltern Wonderland 50 in Sept and Autumn 100 in October. Not many races but the recovery after the 100 milers takes a while and with the first 2 only 5 weeks apart I don't anticpate any productive training in that period other than to recover for the next race.
Feeling much better and more optimisitic this year with some good training blocks ahead.
Good to see others still pushing with the running and challenging yourself. That's what it's all about. Pushing yourself forward step at a time (literally).
Happy running guys.
2018 miles - 145miles/233km with another 15-17m before end of Jan. Target as previous years = 2018 miles!!
187k for the year so far.
It wasn't an event, I just went out and did one because it was such a nice day and I didn't want to stop.
Very sore legs now!
Rest up sore legs - they deserve it
I hope to do some canicross with my dog, so runs up to 10know for now.
First shock of the comeback. No New Balance 854s any more.
What do I use?
